"given". The West will likely perform a classic "fudge" to save western faces . The EU could possibly be gone before the Iranian Nuke program.
6. Brilliant
Amos T   (05.18.12)
Brilliant, Netanyahu is perfectly correct ! The crux of the matter is dismantling Fordow immediately, handing over their stock of 20% enriched Uranium (enough for 4 nukes) & stopping all enrichment immediately. All the rest - inspections, reduction of enrichment to 3.5%, "confidence building measures" etc can easily be reversed at any time when the Iranians chose to. Oth, dismantling Fordow, freezing all enrichment and removing the Uranium stocks are the only real PERMANENT measures that will be effective for years, which of course Iran will never agree to. Fantastic, Netanyahu is a genius ! He saw through the Obama-Ashton-European sponsored time wasting charade immediately.

Pressure western negociators before negociation round. Nothing more.
8. YES,MR.NETANYAHU...................
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.18.12)
No signs of Iranians stopping Nuclear activities are ever going to be witnessed.What you are doing is not achievable even with your wildest threats,sir.Best is to go round the world singing this song till you retire.
9. Should we have hope
Gallula ,   Paris   (05.18.12)
We have to be optimistic. HMS Ashton with her muscled arms will force the mullah to stop their nuke race....since they fear her.... ):
10. Netanyahu again shows
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (05.18.12)
that his aims and those of the rest of Planet Earth are different. All Planet Earth want is for Iran to verifiably prove that what it is enriching is not being diverted to a nuclear weapon programme. Netanyahu wants all and any activity pertaining to nuclear materials stopped which under the NPT Iran does not have to do. Netanyahu is doing one of three things, preparing Israel for war, or preparing the Israeli people to the fact he has lied to them for the last ten years The most likely scenerio and the most plausible that Israel cannot afford to maintain a second strike capability to ensure MAD works, and =is thus fishing for money from Germany and the United States
11. PM is right
Brod ,   USA   (05.18.12)
The PM is right to be skeptical. The Ayatollahist fanatics are hellbent on pursuing their nukes. More talks and sanctions will only give them ample time to hide their nuke. They are on a pathway of destruction. They have not retracted one bit pertaining to their goal of destroying Israel. Ergo, Israel must defend itself against this existential threat irrespective of external pressures and instrusions. Israel must never rely on the man from nowhere to insure its security. Israel alone will have to insure its national security against existential threat.
12. pro-hamas Catherine Ashton
Sam Yehuda   (05.18.12)
The ugly fugly pro-hamas Catherine Ashton will help Iran get a watered down deal which helps them to build nukes secretly.
13. western sanctions alone cannot stop Iran
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.18.12)
As long as Iran has trading partners with Russia, Latin America & Asia they can & will continue to fund their nuclear program, even if it means millions of Iranians will continue living in poverty.
14. #4 Mr. Ash, I think I'm really starting to like you...

Dallas ,   Canada   (05.18.12)
Can't you see your argument against Israel is the exact same "logic" which Hitler duped the Western powers to keep them asleep as he itched to destroy Austria, Chechoslovakia and Poland? You are in the same rabbit-hole. We have been down this path before and you won't see it.
16. #2 & #8
Ram ,   London   (05.18.12)
Every one of your posts is full of out-pours of love and affection for the Jews. Funny that blowing Israel out of the map and obliterating the Jews " the cancer of the ME" is not a serious threat in your loving eyes. And Netanyahu is just a drama queen...right? Dear Mahmood. You and your literate posts and many of your literate brothers, especially "the very Faithful", cannot possibly counter the commandments of your Holy Quran. Rather than engage your minds and see the conflict for what it is you have to blindly follow the commandment of islamizing the world and pursue the offspring of " pigs and monkeys" until they are no more. It looks to me like Netanyahu might just turn out to be an effective guardian of his fellow Jews, who will not rely on western Chamberlains but end up taking matters into "Jews own hands". To my logic, his logic is preferable to remaining a sitting duck.

To #8 mockmood, but who's missing is his little kitty friend, Hatred runs deep with these two persian supporters. However I personally Hold Great Faith that Bibi will Do The Right Thing!!! I have said many times That Bibi Has The Hardest Job in the World. He was elected By the People and For The People His Abba and Imma (Father/Mother) instilled Just Morals to him and his Siblings. He Is The RIGHT MAN for the job. שבת שלום
19. Bibi go fight it out with Ahmadinejad at the olympics
zionist forever   (05.18.12)
You & Ahmadinejad both go to the olympics, sit next to each other, have a punch up and winner takes all. If Ahmadinejad wins Israel will accept the idea of a nuclear Iran and even help develop the bomb. If Bibi wins Iran ends its entire nuclear program now. Israel is useless at diplomacy but when the right men are calling the shots we do fight well so lets do things the Israeli way and Bibi & Ahmadinejad can fight it out. If nothing else the olympic spectators will enjoy a good show.
20. no one will dare attack
Iranian Lion ,   london england   (05.18.12)
of that was on your agenda the west would have done so .as for the jews there president in the us has pulled there leash back and is on his election tour ha we will build the bomb as sure as the sun will rise. and live with it because of your weakness we can smell a mouse fight and stop us if you dare.
21. #8: Mahmood! It sounds like it, right?
Israeli 2   (05.18.12)
It sounds as if you are right, but when it comes to Israel's safety, whether a leftist and reluctant PM., or a rightist PM, the response will be the same. The ONLY question left for you to ponder is: When will that faithful day be? The Day IRan is Done!
22. Najat skeptical Israel would end nuclear program
hisham ,   canada   (05.18.12)
23. Israeli dog is barking a lot but afraid to bite
Ahmet ,   Istanbul, Turkey   (05.18.12)
It seems that without US, Israel is nothing but a hollow bully.

You are serious? Only calls for the destruction of Israel.You should read -you sound ignorant.
25. To: No. 20
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.19.12)
Well, the sun will no longer rise over Iran in the event of an Israeli strike. That's for sure, little strutting peacock. It took Iran eight long years to eke out an embarrassing draw with a vastly inferior Iraq. You lost one million men in the process. Iran's grand final battle plan took the form of hurling little boys under the treads of oncoming Iraqi tanks. You think you stand a chance against Israel? Israel crippled your computer networks without firing a shot. What do you think would happen if Israel brings its full arsenal to bear against Iran? The wisest course would be for the Iranian mullahs to recognize that Israel means business, and to stop its nuclear program. Everyone knows that Iran is not interested in nuclear power for peaceful purposes. They've said as much often enough. That will never happen. It can go easy for Iran, or it can go hard. Israel has allowed the string to run as long as possible, but the idiots you call the Iranian leadership are not governed by any semblance of rationality. Iran will NEVER become a nuclear power as long as its present Islamofascist regime is in place. NEVER. What part of the word "NEVER" do you not understand?
26. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.19.12)
How about over thirty years of threats to "wipe the 'Zionist entity' from the map? That's an existential threat leveled by one sovereign state to another. So yes, I would say that Iran has threatened Israel's existece. You can scarcely fault Israel for deciding to take those threats seriously. Iran's threats are well-documented. Israel has every right to take all necessary steps to guarantee that Iran does not fulfill its oft-stated goal, and an affirmative duty to its citizens to guarantee that Iran will never fulfill its goal of the destruction of the State of Israel.
27. Iran a Threat ?
Kevin J Lee ,   Glasgow/UK   (05.19.12)
The main threat to Israel,lays amongst her own borders,amongst the Jews in Israel and in the west,not Iran,as the main threat Iran fears is from Arabia and Pakistan. Shalom L"atem KJL.
